Conduct of Sayyiduna ‘Umar Bin ‘Abdul ‘Aziz �� &� �'�( �� %

You have come to me with three evils

One man approached a saint �� % �-� �&� �' �( and uttered some negative things about a friend of the saint. The saint said to

him, ‘Regrettably, you have come to me with three evils:

1. You have stirred hatred in me for a fellow Islamic brother;

2. For this reason you have preoccupied me (with worry and

evil whispers); and



4

3. You have tarnished your trustworthy character (i.e. I

considered you a trustworthy individual, but you turned

out to be a gossipmonger).’ (Ihya-ul-‘Uloom, vol. 3, pp. 193)

Safeguard yourselves from the thieves of love

Scholars of our religion �� ' �(� � �� advise: Safeguard yourselves

from the enemies of the intellect and the thieves of love. These

thieves speak ill and tell tales. A thief steals worldly materialistic

possessions whereas they (i.e. those who backbite and tell tales)

steal the love and respect that people have among themselves.

(Al-Mustatraf, vol. 1, pp. 151)

In a state of battle until parting

Shaykh Sayyiduna Mansoor Bin Zaazaan �� % �� &� �' �( said, ‘By Allah �� ! ��"�#! Generally, whoever comes and sits with me, I find myself in a constant state of battle against him. This is because

neither does he refrain from distancing me from my friends by

backbiting against them, nor does he avoid revealing the

backbiting of others against me, plunging me into anxiety and

testing times. (Tanbih-ul-Mughtarrin, pp. 196)

May Allah �� ! ��"�# have mercy on him and forgive us without accountability for his sake!

Blessed with faith through Madani Channel 17 days

before death

It is the summary of an incident relayed by an Islamic brother

from Siddeeq Aabad: On Monday 20th April 2009, a 50-year

old non-Muslim living in Karachi �� 3� �4 �5�� embraced Islam after becoming convinced by the true teachings of the Muslim faith

on Madani Channel. He was given a Muslim name –

Muhammad Siddeeq.



6

He attended the weekly Sunnah-inspiring Ijtima’ at Dawat-e-

Islami’s International Headquarters, Faizan-e-Madinah and

from there he travelled with a 12-day Madani Qafilah with the

devotees of the Prophet to learn the Sunnah. Two or three days

after his return, a car near Kakri Ground (in Bab-ul-Madinah,

Karachi) hit him. The accident proved fatal and seventeen or

eighteen days after gaining the precious gift of Iman (faith), he

left this world. May Allah �� ! ��"�# forgive him.


Madani Channel ki muhim hay Nafs-o-Shaytan kay khilaf

It will move your heart and rattle your Nafs

Some are reformed before death and some go astray

�� 3� �4 �5�� he was indeed fortunate to be blessed with the wealth of



7

Islam only seventeen or eighteen days before he passed away.

Nobody knows the hidden divine decree of Allah Almighty.

Someone may spend all his life in a state of disbelief, but be

blessed with faith at the time of his death, whereas another

may spend all his life performing virtuous deeds, but die

without faith. We seek goodness from Allah Almighty.

In this context, listen to and learn a lesson from the following

Hadees reported by the Mother of Believers, Sayyidatuna

‘Aaishah Siddiqah ��6�# �-� � �7�(: Whenever Allah �� ! ��"�# wills good for a person, He �� ! ��"�# designates an angel to him a year before his death who constantly keeps him on the right path until he

dies with belief. Upon his death, people say that so-and-so died

in a good state. When such a fortunate and pious person

begins dying, his soul is made to depart quickly. At that time,

he wants to meet Allah �� ! ��"�# and Allah �� ! ��"�# wants to meet him. When Allah �� ! ��"�# intends bad for a person, a Satan is appointed to him a year before his death who constantly

misguides him until he dies in his worst moments. As death

approaches him, his soul begins to jerk. At that time the dying

person does not want to meet Allah �� ! ��"�#, nor does Allah �! ��"�# �� (want to meet him)’ (Musnad Ibn-e-Rahawayh, vol. 3, pp. 503)

Iman revived in Faizan-e-Madinah

This is a summary of what an Islamic brother from Sultanabad

[Bab-ul-Madinah, Karachi (Pakistan)] reported. There was a

non-Muslim (he was about 30 years of age) who was living in

our locality with some of his friends, some of whom were

Muslims. They used to watch movies and TV programs on cable

television, just like the common practice amongst the youth

today. When Madani Channel was launched in the blessed

month of Ramadan 1429 A.H., its Madani programs were also

relayed on the cable networks, which this non-Muslim really

took a liking to, so he began to mostly watch Madani Channel.

By the blessings of watching the programs, one day he went to

the International Headquarters of Dawat-e-Islami, Faizan-e-

Madinah in order to wash away the darkness of his disbelief

and to enlighten his heart with the light and guidance of Islam,

where he pronounced the Kalimah and became a Muslim.

In the weekly Sunnah-inspiring Ijtima’ in front of thousands of

attendees and viewers of Madani Channel, he became the

disciple of Ghaus-e-A’zam Shaykh ‘Abdul Qaadir Jilani

�� % �� &� �' �(. Thereafter, he attended congregational Salah and



9

started growing a beard. Occasionally, he would adorn his

head with an ‘Imamah upon his head. Furthermore, he

started learning the proper recitation of the Quran in Dawat-e-

Islami’s Madrasa-tul-Madinah (for adults). He also attended

the 3-day Sunnah-inspiring Ijtima’ at Sahra-e-Madinah in

Madina-tul-Awliya, Multan. May Allah �� ! ��"�# grant him and all of us steadfastness on our faith.’

(Wasail-e-Bakhshish murammam, pp. 632-633)


Du’a of a backbiter is not accepted

Sayyiduna Shaykh Faqih Abul Lays Samarqandi �� % �� &� �' �( has said, ‘the Du’a of three individuals are not accepted:

1. Whoever eats Haraam;

2. Whoever excessively backbites; and

3. Whoever has jealousy towards Muslims.’ (Tanbih-ul-

Ghafileen, pp. 95)

Guarantee for Paradise

Here is a blessed narration from the Prophet of mankind, the

Peace of our heart and mind, the most Generous and Kind ��. �/�� *�! �ٖ� �, ��! �� % �� : ‘Whoever sits in his home and does not backbite against other Muslims, Allah �� ! ��"�# is his Guarantor for Paradise.’

(Al-Mu’jam-ul-Awsat li-Tabarani, vol. 3, pp. 46, Hadees 3822)

Neighbour of the Noble Prophet $ in Paradise

Sayyiduna Abu Sa’eed Khudri �� % �� &� �' �( reported that the Most Noble Prophet �� *�! �ٖ� �, ��! �� % �� . �/ said: ‘He who performs Salah properly, whose household is large (has more members) and

provisions are limited, and who does not backbite other

Muslims, he and I will be like this in Paradise (i.e. the Prophet

�� *�! �ٖ� �, � �! �� % �� . �/ put his index finger and middle finger together).’ (Musnad Abu Ya’la, vol. 1, pp. 428, Hadees 986)

22 Favours bestowed in Paradise

Dear Islamic brothers! �� 8�,5� 9� �*! The above mentioned Hadees mentions a Madani method to gain the neighbourhood of the

Beloved Prophet �� *�! �ٖ� �, ��! �� % �� . �/ in Paradise. ُۡسب ٰحَن ا�1 ٰحَن ا�1 ُسبۡ , ٰحَن ا�1 ُسۡب , ,

the greatness of Paradise is truly marvellous. Dawat-e-Islami’s

publishing house ‘Maktaba-tul-Madinah’ has published a

1250-page book (in Urdu) entitled ‘Bahar-e-Shari’at.’ Here are

some glimpses from that book’s chapter on Paradise, �� it



11

will increase your desire to attain it. Step up your spirited

efforts to attain the bountiful Paradise of Allah �� ! ��"�#. Thus, it is stated:

1. If any object from Paradise, the size of a fingernail is

revealed in this world, all the lands and the seas would

become adorned by it.

2. If a Heavenly bracelet was to be displayed, it would dim

out the sunshine from the sun just like the sun dims out

the light of the stars.

3. A space small enough to lay down a whip in Paradise is

better than this entire world and all the things contained

within it.

4. The walls of Paradise are made of gold, bricks are made of

silver, and musk is used to join them together.

5. The dwellers of Paradise will be presented with the tastiest

of tasty cuisines. Whatever they wish shall be promptly

presented in front of them.

6. When they see a bird and they wish to eat it, it will be

presented to them roasted at that very moment.

7. If they wish to have water, containers will come to hand

automatically and they will have the exact amount of

water, milk, heavenly wine, and honey that is desired, with

neither a drop more nor a drop less. After they have



12

finished drinking, the container will go back to where it

came from.

8. Worldly alcohol has a foul odour, a bitter taste, and an

intoxicating effect. Whoever drinks it, loses his reasoning

ability, self-control, and starts using bad language. The

wine in Paradise will be free from such negative factors.

9. There are no impurities in Paradise. There is not any

urine, faeces, earwax, nasal mucus or bodily dirt.

10. One will have a fragrant burp which will be enjoyable and

he will also perspire fragrantly.

11. All the food will be digested.

12. The burp and sweat will smell like musk.

13. Just like breathing, the tongue will be glorifying and

praising Allah �� ! ��"�# voluntarily and involuntarily.

14. Everyone will have at least ten thousand servants at his

service, each one of them will have a silver bowl in one

hand and a gold bowl in the other. All bowls will be filled

with a variety of blessings (cuisines), each different in

colour. As they eat, instead of the taste reducing, it will

enhance. Every morsel will have seventy flavours, each

distinct from the other and all these flavours will be tasted

without one flavour overwhelming the other.



13

15. Neither will their clothing ever wear out nor will their

youth wither away.

16. If someone were to wear clothing from Paradise in this

world, whoever saw it would faint, as people would not be

able to bear its sheer magnificence.

17. If any Hoor (heavenly maiden) from Paradise were to place

her saliva into the ocean, it would all turn sweet.

According to one Hadees, if a Hoor were to place her saliva

into the seven oceans (of the world) the water would turn

sweeter than honey.

18. Besides the hair on the head, the eyebrows, and the

eyelashes, the dwellers of Paradise will not have any bodily

hair. They will all be without beards and their eyes will be

lined with kohl. Everyone will look thirty years old and will

never look older than that.

19. Then, the people will go (by Allah Almighty’s order) to the

market place which would be surrounded by the angels.

They will see things that their eyes have never seen, that

their ears have never heard and their minds have never

thought of. There will be no buying or selling, rather

whatever they like in the market place will be sent along

with them.

20. People of Paradise will meet others in this market. When a

person from a lower rank will meet another from a higher



14

rank and will like his clothing, before their conversation is

finished he will feel that his own clothing is better than the

others, as there is no sorrow in Paradise.

21. Whenever they will want to meet each other, their thrones

will move closer. According to Allah �� ! ��"�#, the most respectable person amongst them would be the one who is

blessed with the privilege of seeing Almighty Allah �� ! ��"�# in the mornings and in the evenings.

22. When all the dwellers of Paradise would have entered,

Allah �� ! ��"�# will ask them, ‘Do you want anything else that I shall provide for you?’ They will say, ‘You have illuminated

our faces, allowed us entry into Paradise and saved us from

Hell.’ At that moment the veil, which is drawn upon the

people, would be lifted and they will see Allah �� ! ��"�#. They will not be awarded anything greater than the honour of

seeing Allah.’ (Bahar-e-Shari’at, vol. 1, pp. 152-162)

�للَ ارَ يَ َنا زِ زُقۡ م� ارۡ هُ ا

ِ ةَ ِرۡيِم ِبَاهَكۡ وَۡجِهَك ال

How to gain Hoors (heavenly maidens)?

Dear Islamic brothers! Strive to avoid backbiting and all sinful

conversations and make yourself worthy of Paradise. With just

a small movement of your tongue, recite ُۡسَتۡغِفرََ ا َعظِ ا�1

ۡميۡ ال and be

rewarded with Hoors in Paradise! In this regard, a saint made a

Du’a after worshipping for forty years: ‘O Allah �� ! ��"�#! Show me a glimpse in this world of the blessings that You will bestow

upon me in Paradise.’ While he was still busy in his Du’a, the

arch of the Masjid split open, a beautiful Hoor emerged from

the gap and said: ‘You will gain one hundred Hoors like me,

each will have one hundred helpers, and each helper will have

a hundred slave-girls, and each slave-girl will have a hundred

assistants.’ Upon hearing this, the saint rejoiced and inquired:



16

‘Will anyone get more than me in Paradise?’ She replied:

‘Every inhabitant of Paradise, who would have recited

ۡسَتۡغِفرُ ََ ا َعظِ ا�1

ۡميۡ ال in the morning and evening, will receive this.

(Raud-ur-Riyaheen, pp. 55)

Attacking the honour of another Muslim is Haraam

The Beloved and Blessed Prophet �� *�! �ٖ� �, � �! �� % �� . �/ said: ‘Everything that belongs to a Muslim is Haraam for another

Muslim, his possessions, his honour and his blood. It is enough

for a person to be evil that he considers his Muslim brother

inferior to himself.’ (Sunan Abi Dawood, vol. 4, pp. 354, Hadees 4882)

What is arrogance?

Dear Islamic brothers! Arrogance is when someone considers

himself superior to another. Firstly, arrogance is Haraam and

secondly, it leads to backbiting. Furthermore, an arrogant

person tends to ridicule those who he considers inferior to

himself. Allah �� ! ��"�# has said in the Quran in Surah Al-Hujurat, part 26, verse 11:

�. CD �E

17

O Believers! Men must not ridicule other men, perhaps the

ridiculed ones are better than the mockers, nor must the women

ridicule other women, perhaps the ridiculed women are better

than the mockers.

[Kanz-ul- Iman (translation of Quran)] (Part 26, Surah Al-Hujurat, Verse 1) Do not look at others with disdain

Shaykh Sayyiduna Imam Ahmad Bin Hajar Makki Shaafi’i

�� % �� &� �' �( while elaborating on this verse said: ‘ َيهُسۡخِر [Sukhriyah in this verse] refers to looking down with despise upon the one

who is ridiculed. This order of Allah �� ! ��"�# signifies that one should not look down upon anyone with disdain. It is possible

that the one who is looked down upon is at a better and higher

status in the court of Allah �� ! ��"�#. It is reported from the Intercessor of the Ummah ��. �/ �� *�! �ٖ� �, � �! �� % �� : ‘How many are there in a miserable state, with dishevelled hair and worn out old

clothes, whom no one pays any mind to, but if they were to

swear by Allah’s name on any matter, Allah �� ! ��"�# would surely fulfil it.’ (Sunan-e-Tirmiżi, vol. 5, pp. 459, Hadees 3880)

Satan, the accursed, considered Sayyiduna Adam 0 �1� ��2�� # inferior to himself and thus suffered eternal loss. On the

other hand, Adam 0 �1� ��2�� # received everlasting respect and there is a great difference between them. Here, it is also

possible for it to mean, ‘Do not consider another person as

inferior as it is possible that one day that other person may



18

attain a position of respect, and you may be disgraced, in

which case he may take revenge.

تَرۡ َال� يَ َع ك ◌ٗ هُر قَۡد َرَفعَ هۡ ۡوًما و� تُ

Don’t disgrace a poor man, for perhaps one day you might be

needy and Allah �� ! ��"�# might grace him with wealth.

(Az-Zawajir ‘Aniqtiraf-il-Kabaair, vol. 2, pp. 11) Who is a Muslim and who is a Muhajir?

Dear Islamic brothers! It is necessary upon every Muslim that

he does not cause any unjustifiable difficulty for another

Muslim, nor should he steal his belongings, dishonour,

antagonise, hurt or fight him. After all, why should Muslims

fight one another, when they are actually supposed to be the

protectors of one another?! The Knower of the Unseen

�� *�! �ٖ� �, � �! �� % �� . �/ has stated: ‘A (complete) Muslim is he who avoids harming other Muslims by his tongue and hands. A

(complete) Muhajir (one who migrates for the sake of Allah) is

he who gives up all that is forbidden by Allah �� ! ��"�#.’

(Sahih Bukhari, vol. 1, pp. 15, Hadees 10)

The renowned commentator of the Quran, Hakeem-ul-

Ummat, Mufti Ahmad Yar Khan �� % �� &� �'�( while elaborating on this Hadees, has explained: A complete Muslim is he who is a

Muslim in every way; linguistically and according to Shari’ah.



19

The true believer is he who does not backbite another Muslim,

nor curses, tells tales or makes sarcastic remarks about him. He

does not physically hurt him, nor does he write anything against

him. Furthermore, a complete Muhajir is he who not only

migrates from his homeland, but also migrates away from sin;

or abandoning sins is linguistically also considered migration

and this continues forever.

(Mirat-ul-Manajih, vol. 1, pp. 29)

It is impermissible to hurt others even by a gesture

Dear Islamic brothers! The Prophet of Rahmah, the Intercessor

of the Ummah, the Owner of Jannah �� *�! �ٖ� �, � �! �� % �� . �/ said, ‘It is not allowed for any Muslim to scare another Muslim.’

(Sunan Abu Dawood, vol. 4, pp. 391, Hadees 5004)

At another time, he �� *�! �ٖ� �, ��! �� % �� . �/ said, ‘It is impermissible for a Muslim to gesture with his eyes in a manner which harms

another Muslim.’ (Az-Zuhd li-Ibn-e-Mubarak, pp. 240, Raqm 689; Ithaf-

us-Sadah-liz-Zabidi, vol. 7, pp. 177) Agonizing itch

Dear Islamic brothers! It might seem very simple and easy to

harm a fellow Muslim and hurt his feelings, to curse, backbite

or to slander him, but this could turn into a heavy burden in

the Hereafter if these acts result in displeasing Allah Almighty.

It is narrated on page 21 of the Urdu booklet ‘Zulm ka Anjam’,

published by Dawat-e-Islami’s publishing department,

Maktaba-tul-Madinah: Shaykh Sayyiduna Yazeed Bin Shajarah

�� % �� &� �' �( has narrated that: Like seas have shores, Hell also has shores which have snakes like Arabian camels and scorpions

like mules living there. When the dwellers of Hell will plead for

their punishments to be reduced, it will be ordered for them to

be pulled out to the shore. As soon as they are pulled ashore,

these snakes will grab their lips and faces and peel their skin

off. They will turn towards the fire to safeguard themselves,

and then they will be inflicted with an itch. They will itch so

much that all their skin and flesh will be plucked away and

only bones will remain. It will be called out, ‘O so-and-so! Is it

hurting you now?’ They will say, ‘Yes.’ Then it will be said,

‘This is the punishment for the harm you caused to the

believers.’

Fortune enlightened by the blessings of Milad

celebrations

Dear Islamic brothers! In order to get rid of the habit of

backbiting and to develop a habit of offering Salah and

practicing the Sunnah, keep yourself attached to the righteous

Madani environment of Dawat-e-Islami and travel in the

Madani Qafilahs with the devotees of the Prophet to learn the

Sunnahs of the Holy Prophet �� *�! �ٖ� �, � �! �� % �� . �/. To prosper in this life and to be successful in the Hereafter, act according to the

Madani In’amaat booklet. Fill in the questionnaire and submit

it to the representative of Dawat-e-Islami on the first day of

each Madani month. Celebrate Milad – the Blessed Birthday

[of the Beloved Prophet �! �� % �� . �/�� *�! �ٖ� �, � ] – with the devotees of the Prophet as it has numerous blessings.

Here we present to you the summary of the narrative of an

Islamic brother, who was from the city of Trarkhel Sudhnoti

district (in Kashmir): On the 12th night of Rabi’-un-Noor 1430

A.H., our Masjid was being decorated with green flags and

beautiful illuminations to celebrate the blessed night. Suddenly

four drug addicts entered the Masjid and informed the Imam:



22

‘We were just about to use drugs, but then we thought to

ourselves that tonight is the night of Milad. Will we sin even

on this night? Why shouldn’t we repent?’ Therefore, we have

come to you for this reason.’ Thereafter they repented and

joined the congregation to gain the blessings of the Milad

celebrations. The Imam of the Masjid quickly contacted a

representative of Dawat-e-Islami. He came soon afterwards

with some Islamic brothers and they met with the drug addicts

with great enthusiasm. Later that night, they travelled with the

3-day Madani Qafilah according to its schedule and their

passion was highly commendable. �� 3� �4 �5�� , by the blessings of the Milad celebration, all four of them made righteous

intentions to establish Salah, adorn the beard, acquire the

blessing of the 63-day Tarbiyyati Course and attend the

Masajid etc. Furthermore, all of them made Bay’at [pledge of

allegiance] into the Qadiriyyah Razawiyyah Tareeqah (spiritual

path) along with their family members and became ‘Attari. At

the time of delivering the statement, it had only been a few

days since they joined the righteous Madani environment and

at that time, they were travelling in a 12-day Madani Qafilah.

Khoob jhoomo ay gunahgaraun tumhari Eid hay

Ho gaya bakhshish ka saman Eid-e-Milad-un-Nabi

After seeing beautiful illuminations, a disbeliever

embraced Islam

Dear Islamic brothers! Did you realize the Madani blessings of

celebrating Milad? It was because the devotees of the Prophet

were celebrating the Milad that those drug addicts found out

about that blessed and mercy-filled night and felt that they

should respect it. So, they entered the Masjid which was

adorned with decorative lights and where green flags swayed in

celebration of the blessed night. The benefits of celebrating the

birth of our Prophet �� *�! �ٖ� �, � �! �� % �� . �/ are truly incredible. One Islamic brother told me [the author] that once, a Masjid was

decorated beautifully to mark the Milad celebrations. It so

happened that a non-Muslim passed by it and when he saw the

magnificent decorations on the Masjid, he inquired about the

occasion. He was informed that the splendid decorations were

placed to mark the birthday of our Beloved Prophet

�� *�! �ٖ� �, � �! �� % �� . �/. Upon hearing that, his heart filled with the respect for the Beloved and Blessed Prophet �� *�! �ٖ� �, ��! �� % �� . �/. He thought, ‘despite almost fifteen centuries passing, these

Muslims still celebrate the birthday of their Prophet with such



24

passion and enthusiasm, and decorate their homes and

Masajid. This proves that this is the true religion.’ �� 3� �4 �5�� , he repented from his false beliefs and embraced Islam, reciting the

Kalimah.

Beautiful illuminations for Milad

On page 174 of Malfuzaat-e-A’la Hadrat [the 561-page

publication of Maktaba-tul-Madinah, the publishing

department of Dawat-e-Islami], it is stated:

Question: Is it considered wastage to decorate with lights,

chandeliers or special flooring1 for the celebrations of Milad?

Answer: The scholars state: َ ِف ِف ۡيَ خَ #

َاف اِۡسَ

َاِف َو# ِۡسَ

َۡ ا#

ۡۡي ال that is,

there is no goodness in wastage and there is no wastage in

goodness. Hence, anything that is intended to increase the

honour of a gathering of remembrance cannot be deemed

impermissible.

A thousand candles were lit

Imam Muhammad Ghazali �� % �� &� �'�( has narrated in Ihya-ul ‘Uloom from Sayyid Abu ‘Ali Ruzbari �� % �� &� �'�( that once a person arranged a gathering for the remembrance of Allah

person came, noticed all these candles and turned around to

leave, but just then the host held his hand and told him to put

out any candle which he thought had been lit to please anyone

else other than Allah �� ! ��"�#. He tried to put out the candles, but not even a single one of them went out.
